Signs of Spring

Spring is in the air today. I cycled without a winter coat, crocuses are popping up in the back gardens, and I got a great big whiff of mowed-lawn-smell as I was coming home this afternoon. It feels glorious.

But the true signs of spring?

10 kg of charcoal briquettes on the back of my bike, so we could barbecue smuggled steaks from home, sauteed mushrooms, corn on the cob, caesar salad and baked potatoes with all the trimmings. I feel 100% full and 100% content. I love spring.

About Me

Our family moved to Cambridge on January 13, 2011. The following week, Matthew started a 2 year Research Fellowship in the Department of Physics at Cambridge University. Our daughter, Elizabeth, is now 9 months old, and both of us celebrated our 29th birthdays the month we moved. Who knows what lies ahead for us here in England?
